They are just about on scale with jumbo shrimp and cheaper than lobster. I'm getting my lobster out of Shepody NB for around $2 a pound plus shipping. I buy 6-8 chicken lobsters at a time and the total bill is under $50.
When I am up there, my friend who is a lobsterman, sneak off the boat for me for free. I cook lobsters exactly the same way I do crawfish. And yes, I suck their heads, too.
